so this entire thread is for who we should be mad at? I say spend more time trying to bring firefly back than figuring out exactly who we should be mad at.
"And I think calling him that is an insult to the psychotic lowlife community."

This thread was started because of all the posts that included a statement like "Don't buy a(nother) copy of Firefly because it helps the network that canceled it."
I believe that every new copy of Firefly purchased is actually the only thing that can help get Firefly back on TV. Coincidentally, it also makes the network that canceled it look short-sighted. Rather than having to decide whether the good outweighs the bad, or vice versa, buying another copy of Firefly accomplishes two good things.

Perhaps it's just me...I didn't see any references to what you're stating as fact listed.

I always thought they were the same.
Although, I knew that 20th Century Fox was like a production company. Something like Universal Studios or WB or MGM. I always associate it with the logo THINGY that one sees when watching movies.
And FOX was a tv station in the US.
I get the distinction between FOX(the tv station) and 20th Century Fox (Production Company). They are different at what they are doing. They have different jobs.
Like in a bank, a teller, and a new accounts personnel. They have different jobs but they work in the same bank.
Did I get it right????

20th Century Fox = Rupert Murdock
Fox TV network = Rupert Murdock
20th Century Fox = Fox TV network

I met a local business owner who owned over 30 businesses. He was still the same business owner, but presumably had 30 general mangaers, who presumably made the decisions to buy consumables, etc. But the big purchase decisions were presumably made by the one owner.
Not to say that Rupert Murdock makes all the major purchase decisons at either/or 20 Fox and Fox TV, but that his senior management team probably does.
What's mysterious to me is why SciFi broadcasts wresling but not Firefly.

OK, I can buy the initial post as a general outline, in response to "don't buy nother copy..." statements. Looks like a good shorthand way to make a distinction between divisions to me. Course,

I haven't seen anything in 3 years to make me believe otherwise either. You can almost predict which subsiderary will take the next loss... but the Hydra heads all run back to Murdoch (But he makes me money, so I hate to complain about him ;)
The cynic in me thinks there's more truth in this quote too.
Also, wasn't there something about a non-compete clause between Fox Broadcasting Co. and Mutant Enemy, saying something to the effect of "Joss, you can't make Firefly the series elsewhere to be broadcast on TV, but movies we can't do nothing about"?

Considering the two threads up right now about 20th Century Fox challenging Warner Bros. rights to 'Watchmen' I thought this ol' thread could use a bump.
